I happened to like that thread. What happened to it? It was invaluable to me when I was looking for accessories.
I wondered the same thing. It was useful. Maybe too hard to keep up with it.
It was closed down.
I reported it because the OP was sneaking in his Amazon affiliate links.
Whenever someone purchases something through his links, he gets paid a commission.
This is sneaky business. He's not trying to help us, he's trying to make money. XDA is a community forum, not a means to make money.
Apparently, the OP of that thread has several similar threads all over this forum. He was monetizing XDA and we did not even know about it. Surprisingly, the mods of the forum did not notice it either. I did because I am a mod of a huge forum as well and this type of sneaky advertising is a common tactic spammers and abusive users use.
From Forum Rules:
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.
The OP of that post surely dislikes me then. I ordered several things from things he & others posted, but I would look at the item, get the model #, then search eBay and other places to see if i could find better deals, shipping, etc. He / She made no money from me, but I did appreciate the suggestion

Ah, that's too bad then. Well, hopefully we'll get another one going in time.
Posting links is fine as long as the links are "affiliate-free."
was he banned?

You've got the wrong site my friend. Hacking peoples personal accounts of any kind is not discussed on XDA.
